Joan - Big Hugs to you! I am soo sorry for all of the stressors in your life right now!! I simply can't imagine having to deal with so much at one time.
Hang in there. We are all here for you! Just take one day at a time!!

Joan, I'm so sorry that life is hitting you with so much hurt at the same time. Like Pearl said, just take a deep breath and take it one moment at a time. We're all here for you. Take care and God Bless!

Ugh, Joan i'm sorry about everything.
But you know what they say - Crap happens. Even if its bad you just gotta stick through it and come out on the other side smiling.
I had a rough time with the scales recently, but I stuck to it and I lost more than I have in a long time.
Now, i'm smiling. =)

I hope everything goes well for you. Sorry about your friends daughter, and your dog.
<3

I'm a believer that bad things happen in 3s - so it sounds like you got it all out the first part of your week. Hang in there - climb back into bed if you have to - at least it's probably far away from the kitchen! Watch something funny and silly on tv to take your mind off the stuff that has happened to you (I'm a dog person so you know my stomach sank when I read your thread); don't listen to sad country music. Of course the best thing you could do would be release some endorphines through some exercise, but I think, by now, you're probably already in bed! We're all here for you.
And, if you want to see your scale number at WI, tell them so. I think not knowing would stress me out more and they say stress causes weight gain/retention.

Joan - I am so sorry to hear how things are going for you! I read your post yesterday, and didn't know what to say, so I didn't post. Then I figured that there really is nothing you can say in a situation like you're in that would sound right. So I just want you to know that you're in my thoughts. I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks guys. Yesterday was actually better. Spent some time with that dear friend (the RO), short but sweet and definately worth the 40 mile drive... . Things are a good at least on that front and that made me feel better. I hadn't thought about things coming in 3s but that's true. So, hopefully I'm now done for a while. Its like I just got Slammed on Monday.

I just wish I knew what happened with my Jazz. She was fine Sunday night and Monday morning. And of course, I am one of those types that beats myself up with what ifs, especially when it comes to the dogs. As a breeder, I probably have seen more and have more knowledge about health issues than the average person, so I feel I should see things coming when even my vet tells me that that's not possible. Sigh.

Now if only I could get something done about home. Sigh. That situation needs to be dealt with but not THIS week.

I'm hanging in and doing what I need to do. I think the rest of the week will be better (at least I HOPE so.)

Since I'm not allowed to look at the scale right now ( ), I guess I'm going to have to wait to update my ticker... LOL

Anyway thanks again for the support. You guys are the GREATEST!
